From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project

Last night I wrote:
My architectural imagination is predominately assimilating, where as my artistic imagination is predominately metabolic. There are, however, numerous examples of metabolic architectures within my imagination's work.
Otherwise, I was too busy and more than a little tired today to do any creative work. Although late at night I did think of perhaps adding some of my own present notes to This's one's for George.

In anticipation of the delivery of 9 Moules Mâlic [19.1.1915] to their apartment in a day or two, Marcel writes to inform Roché (who has sold the glass to Teeny [4.10.1956]) that the crate is now at the customs.

In today's Time magazine, "Be Shocking" is the headline of Lou Spence's account of Duchamp's appearance in Chicago [19.10.1949]. "It isn't
that modern art is dead," Duchamp is quoted as saying, "it's just finished and gone... Unless a picture shocks it is nothing--a calendar painting." A work of art must express a new idea, he believes, but all the masters of modern art "long ago ran out of ideas... I myself haven't given up
painting," Duchamp explains, "I'm just not painting now, but if I have an idea tomorrow I will do it."
